NEC Meeting

[fyrfitrmedic]

The "auto correction fixes" are getting down right amusing. Almost as if it's being done on purpose.

I'm convinced that the authors of the autocorrect algorithms are epic trolls.

There was the time I sent a message to my boss about the "thing" she wanted me to look at. I don't know what I typed, but it auto-corrected to the "thong" she wanted me to look at.

As promised, here is the Executive Summary for the NEC Meeting as posted on the NHQ website.

They are still working on the videos, but they should be posted shortly.

Nope. It was adopted straight out. Triangle thing is alive and OFFICALY WELL.

Looking at the graphic in the Executive Summary, it is NOT the TTT. If they Executive summary is accurate, then the TTT, as railed against here in many signature images, has been around for a LONG time, not merely a few years. The graphic presented is at the heart of the CAP seal, MajComm patch and Emblem and does not have the light blue band with lettering.

The first graphic is what is in the summary. The second is the TTT.

No lettering band, plus the triangle is blue, not silver with blue lettering.

I wonder if the NEC realized that by that action they would kill a sizable percentage of the discussion here on CAP Talk? The Law of Unintended Consequences strikes again!

[RogueLeader]

No, we still have uniforms to discuss.

Next up, paisley berets! 

[RogueLeader]

Next up, paisley berets! 

They would have to be sold exclusively by vanguard as they would be cap distinctive.

[Larry Mangum]

Well, we may have to see what happens to the permanent CAP facilities at NESA, now that the funds paying for the upgrades has been stripped and given to the regions.

[FlyTiger77]

Next up, paisley berets! 

Rasberry berets and then Prince can perform at the National Conference.

[James Shaw]

Rasberry berets and then Prince can perform at the National Conference.

The kind you buy in a second hand store??

Exactly. And the 30 and under set have absolutely no idea what we are talking about. Of course, I am not sure I know what a Justin Beiber is, so I guess it evens out.

On a totally different subject, thanks, Ned, for posting the ExSum.

Yeah, that's pretty worrisome.

Is $10K going to put that big of a crimp in the facilities.

[Larry Mangum]

It is not $10K but rather $10K times 8 regions ($80K).

[FW]

Well, we may have to see what happens to the permanent CAP facilities at NESA, now that the funds paying for the upgrades has been stripped and given to the regions.

Yeah, that's pretty worrisome.

I wouldn't worry about it.  Governance change is comming soon.  The "new" powers that be may change things by next year...

[Ned]

Yeah, that's pretty worrisome.

Actually, the requested funds for the regional training facility were indeed allocated and the $80,000 in payments to the regions was restricted to CP and represents monies above and beyond the needs of the regional training facilities.

Another way to look at it was that VG funding stream is larger than was originally expected, and could not reasonably be spent just on the regional training facilities.

Once again, this is the volunteer leadership doing the responsible thing and attempting to honor the original intent of the funding "fence" - supporting not only the regional training facilities, but also allocating significant "new" funding for CP.  And to their credit, it was passed down the chain and not simply spent at the NHQ level.

Win-win.
